Historical information

The memorial obelisk crowns the Butte, the mound of a pre-1914 firing range, in Polygon Wood, Belgium. During heavy fighting in September 1917 the 5th Division recaptured the wood. On the Ieper (Ypres) /Zonnebeke road, a grassy path through the wood from the road reaches the memorial.
